After it was all over, I liked the book. But reading it was kind of frustrating. I think too much happened. It was one thing after the other, non stop and I frankly don't know how either of them made it through alive. Sometimes that much action can seem unrealistic to me.

That being said, it was a very action packed book and had a very emotional love story attached. However there was a little something missing to make me feel all the way connected and invested in this couple. I'm not sure what it was. I think with the next book, I'll try to take my time and read it slower to absorb everything. It was all too much to read in one sitting.… (mer)

I received this as a gift from the author after reading Warrior's Intuition via an early review of Warrior's Intuition. Good author and definitely writes page turners. I never give out spoilers as the description is accurate enough to let you know what you are reading. I started it on Thursday and read when I had the opportunity via kindle on my phone....finishing at home on my pc. I couldn't put it down. I had to know what happened and I was so engrossed in it I wouldn't do anything until I finished it. I think that says enough! Definitely recommend it!… (mer)

There isn’t a woman who hasn’t longed for a HEA and for many of them it means to have it with a man who’s in uniform; whether it mean he’s a serviceman or a first responder, it doesn’t quite matter as long as he’s one. Such a romance happens in romance books, in the fantasies many women dream about, even better it happens it real life. And many even fantasize about this even though they’re already have a HEA of their own.

Jillian Hoffman already has her HEA with her husband, a restaurateur in the small town of Blue Mill, Washington, and has a young son, Henry. All is fine in her life until the day she takes her son for a haircut and has a brief encounter with hot looking police Matt Carson. This brief interaction ignites a passion driven fantasy in her mind regarding him, while at the same time Matt is enthralled by Jillian’s looks and personality; but seeing a wedding ring on her fingers he knows makes her off limits.

Fate, as you know, always has a manner of stepping into situations like these and to make deep “secrets” desires happen. This is happens to Jillian and Matt, happens a year later when her husband gets killed in his restaurant which renders her unemotional to the world around her. Two years later she happens to stop at a convenience store and witnesses a drive-by shooting which causes her unemotional façade to crumble; and Matt finds her drinking beer while sitting on the floor.

But what truly turns the tide is when her Jillian’s son goes missing and she winds up getting injured when she decides to put herself in danger to get him back, while at the same time Matt is trying to do his job to save her son, which he succeeds in doing. This opens the door not the healing process for her injuries, but more important the healing process for the “secret” relationship they share for each other. The question here is whether Jillian is willing to have her HEA with a guy who puts in life on the line each day, and whether she’s willing to become shellshock for the second time if she loses another HEA.

The storyline has suspense and numerous twists which leaves the reader wondering whether these two will get the HEA they’ve both wanted for several years since their first brief encounter, which is why I’ve given this book 5 STARS.

I read this book via an Amazon-US KINDLE Unlimited download.… (mer)
